Abstract

In this paper, it is shown that, one-port passive distributed thermal networks admit four canonical representations which generalize the four canonical forms of one-port passive lumped RC networks: Foster I and II canonical forms, Cauer I and Cauer II canonical forms. Insights on the physical significance of these four generalized canonical representations are given.
